No official speaking at this one (I hadn’t plan to go until I heard about the award). But I did chair one committee meeting and participated in a half dozen others, plus all the schmoozing (not one of my stronger skills). Worked very hard not to volunteer for anything. On the other hand, I ran into a science writer I had met a few years ago and we talked about collaborating on a “communicating science to the public” book. We’ll see where that goes.

I’m up a bit earlier than usual today so I guess my clock is still off. Not too bad though.
